Title: New from the Isle of Man..now with pics
Post by: jonesyiom on January 08, 2014, 08:12:18 pm: Hi all, i eventually managed to join the the forum after after a few teething problems :happy2:
Gotta say what a cracking site, loads of info, top tips and most importantly great communitty members..they tend to make the forum what is is.
Ive got a Black Pearl 06 mk5 in DSG.
Its pretty damn clean both inside and out, cleaner than the missus X5....but she blames our 10 month old on that..yes dear!
Mods are:
Miltek non res Cat back
Carbon Corbino or a name sililar to that
H&N springs
Powder coated wheels in anthracite
Bluefin
Clarion nx702e double din head unit

Previous VW:
1989 Atlas Grey mk2 16v...belter of a car
200? Purple mk3 Vr6
200? Silver mk3....actually that was the ex's but i did drive it

Thats about it for my motor/s, so I may give this one to the missus as its a 5 door, but she needs to sell that x5 first....good luck my dearest.

So as I'm not planning on any more mods for this car so i am on the look out for another mk5.
Ive seen a few sweet motors for sale on here, but do i go edition 30 or Pirelli and do i go Black or White?
There is a Black Pirelli on ebay...are they a forum member or does anyone know the car?

Thats all for now folks

Its also got a Forge intercooler and a VAG boost thingy. What the thingy is.....ive no idea as the garage fitted it as a goodwill gesture after they managed to turn a simple fix into a right dogs dinner.
